I think that 3D has a hard time capturing the charm and character of ads like the "Sinatra" and "Listerine" ads.R.

It was all done by hand, even a small section was trace from the live action onto punched canvas boards and painted with oils and the only way to judge them acurately from first to last, was to line them up because they couldn't be flipped.<br />The only piece of tech used was a paint program, called Harry at the post editing company.spokeshavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785132711227936751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720812734603538570.post-44433921426360436632010-07-29T02:48:11.657-07:002010-07-29T02:48:11.657-07:00If you come across the vodka ads that Roland B.
